Munroe Bergdorf remains a crucial voice at the intersections of class, racial and gender politics. She pulls no punches when she discusses white supremacy, straight supremacy and the way in which transgender children are being used as a political weapon by certain types of radical feminist. This week, Munroe tweeted her supporters to say that her debut book, provisionally entitled “Transitional” has been acquired by the major league book publisher Bloomsbury and will be available to the public in July 2021. Among those tweeting their support and congratulations to Munroe were the Labour Party LGBT+ Network, which said “We Can't Wait to Read It”. Meanwhile Munroe offered an olive branch to some women who continue to use the internet to denigrate transgender people. She told a reporter for the Guardian, “I think if they actually sat down with me and communicated in a respectful way instead of posting things about our community that are detrimental to the mental health, physical wellbeing and emotional wellbeing of trans people, they would see that trans people want what’s best for cisgender women, too. One group of society’s rights isn’t to the detriment of anybody else’s – equal rights are equal rights. It means equality, it doesn’t mean less for some, and more for others.”
